I have that same issue if I'm not using enough vcore for a given clock. It's really weird. With all my A64's Prime would just error out if I didn't have enough vcore. With this MSI/E6400 combo the system just reboots.Quote:

It seems there is a new Official BIOS out for this board.
MSI 975X Plat 8-31-2006 V 7.1 Official BIOS
Updates -
- Support Cedar Mill/Presler/Yonah/Merom/Conroe processor
- Improved DDR2 800Mhz compatibility
- Support 4G memory.
- Updated new micro code
- Fixed SMART Fan abnormal when resume from S3
How in the world is this board supposed to support Yonah,Merom ?:p:
Have flashed mine,will try out later.
Well, I recieved this board yesterday and besides having to hard mod my armorer case to get my psu in, it was an easy build. No problems with bios except for only ran my ram at 667 when it should be 800. So far so good, I plan to flash when I get home as well as do the standard driver download and then get going on some gaming. Just thought Id share :0) peace
just jumped on the msi 975x train...
help me out guys .. dunno whats going on
just got home from the store got a ds3 replacement...
i cannot boot, as it no posting...
using ocz ram and core 2 e6300
anyone know if i need a bios update?
its rev 2.1
Anyones 4:5 divider not playing... mine ran fine for about 12 hours and now 4:5 wont work. :(
The 71a beta is helping me a lot... now I can run async with stability.... now doing two SuperPI 32MB @3600MHz/1.35V with ES6700 and the memory @900MHz 4-4-4-10.... that wasn't stable at any setting 'till now....
Will try the official BIOS soon :)
Im running 4:5 fine, anyone try out the new bios?
I'm testing official 7.1 now. It seems better for my setup rather than 7.0. I stayed away from 719, I was on 716.Quote:

cupholder2.0, you are not using a Conroe so you don't count, lol. This board can not run 4:5 and live to reboot about it;) If the new official bios allows this and multi change it will be worth the flash.
can someone tell me what is going on please ... any ideas at all ??????
my ocz ram wont work at any settings..... i have pc6400 ocz gold 2X1gb
wont post... it will with my crappy 512 chip.....
anyone ?
Volts?
ratio?
SPD or Manual?
What slots?
:stick:
any slot
volts stock is 1.8 i am guessing as that is the standard...
i run it at 2.1-2.2
spd set to 5-5-5-15 or 5-5-5-12
radio 1:1 and 1:1.25 both dont work
New official bios, http://www.msi.com.tw/program/suppor...UID=746&kind=1
version 7.1
how does the clear cmos button work on this board, should i be using that or should i be popin the battery like always?
Press the button for a few secs works.Quote:

Anyone tried it yet ?
I gave it a shot. It did fix the memory divider issue... but, I lost about 40mhz overclock and it was kinda hard to get it stable (359x10 1:1.25 5-5-5-10). The reboot issue is still there... i'm lucky I got xp installed with these issues. I'm sticking with 715 for now.Quote:

hrm........... welllllll, I get my v2.1 like thursday or friday this week. I'm going to flash it to 7.1 official from the get-go and see how she does.. I have a week 25 E6600 (L624A404) and 2gb of G.Skill (HZ) to slap on the board... going to watercool the cpu with an Apogee.. wow it would be really swank-a-delic if I got 400x9 with 1:1.. I can only hope :) fingers X'd :)
I was not aware there was a 1:1 divider problem:confused: I think you mean 1:1.25 and up is where the boot problems begin. I have no issues running 1:1 up to my cpu's limit of 390fsb. Is anyone really having problems running 1:1 over 1:1.25:eek:Quote:

At 1:1.25 I fail ORTHOs 30 seconds in, I'll stick to 1:1 until something gets resolved.

I just had this thing running perfectly with no such problems before and now it does it after the road trip. This makes me thing that there could have been a bump or something that jerked something loose in there but I checked all connections and everything appears to be okay. How do you guys suggest I start troubleshooting this major problem?
